DHS published details about Mobile Fortify, a face-recognition app used by CBP and ICE (identified vendor NEC), noting it was deployed in mid-2024–2025 and can capture faces, contactless fingerprints, and ID document photos with OCR; collected data is sent to CBP biometric matching systems that use AI. The disclosure covers vendor, capabilities, deployment dates, and data-sharing/training references and raises transparency and privacy concerns, but does not describe a cybersecurity incident.
